Holding means are provided on the top or cover of the box for lightly clamping the upper edge of the paper to be copied. vSuch holding or clamp by a pair of tabs 26 made by U-shaped .cuts H21 through the body ofthe cover near theedgegof the box which is farthest re-`A moved from the free end of the easel leg. The

cuts are spaced on each side of a longitudinal cen-v ter line and preferably terminate in small holes 28, so that the paper to be held can be pushed up 1 tight against a definite stop. ience of thecover board is hold paper inserted under enforcement, I like to push a small'wire paper clip through a small slot 29, located just above each tab.

then acting as a convenient means for keeping the cover tightly closed. When the need arises for mounting material for copying, it is the work of but a moment to the paper to be copied under the clamp tabs either with or without the reenforcing wire clip.
